C is correct!

ok try this one;

if you drop a steel ball weighing five pounds from a height of 45 inches, will it fall more rapidly through water at 20 degrees Fahrenheit or water at 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

(a) The ball will fall more rapidly through water 20 degrees Fahrenheit
(b) The ball will fall more rapidly through water 40 degrees Fahrenheit
(c) Both would fall at the same rate

Well.. technically..

Doesn't it depend on the atmospheric pressure? Water won't freeze at certain pressures, even if it's at 20 degrees. *Nerdy AP Chem moment of the day*

So technically couldn't the answer be both? Hehe. Ok I'll shut up now

Re: Riddle me this

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel:
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

Extra credit if you know where it's from.

Re: Riddle me this

I got one:

A woman stayed up late one night reading a book. When she finished she went up stairs, turned out the lights, and went to bed. When she woke up the next day, she found out that a boat ran ashore and everyone on the boat died. Even though she didn't know anyone abord, she committed suicide. Why?
